What is the main purpose of the KYB Excel-G shock absorber?

The primary goal of the KYB Excel-G shock absorber is to restore your vehicle's original ride control, stability, and handling capabilities. It's designed to bring the suspension back to its factory-intended performance.

How does the twin-tube design benefit my vehicle?

The twin-tube design, combined with nitrogen gas charging, helps maintain consistent damping performance. This contributes to better control and stability, especially during normal driving conditions and lane changes.

Does this shock absorber come with a protective boot?

No, this shock absorber does not include a strut boot. You can purchase a KYB Strut Boot, part number SB105, separately to protect the shock from dirt, debris, and salt.
